...A few questions I have for the op is has she been feeding? If not how long has it been since her last meal? As well as some of the other questions that others have asked. It's hard to say with pics unless they are obvious and also its hard to say for sure unless you know all the backround info on her like the questions I and others have asked. ...
They said in the original post that she hasn't eaten in a few months, and she is not interested in males anymore

I am sorry I must have overlooked that part! And her last shed was in mid dec so timing and backround info not to mention the picture makes it seem like an ovo to me. I have noticed that with bigger females ovulations are a bit harder to catch then in smaller females. Like in the two pics I posted. Those two females were about 1800g and I have 2-3 females that are over 3000g and I can say that unless your really know what your looking at and can read all the signs etc it's really tough to tell on them huge females.
I've never bred snakes before, so I'm no expert.
But all the ovulation photos I've seen--she doesn't look like she's quite there yet.
When they ovulate, they get a pretty distinct swelling about 2/3 down their body. It looks like they swallowed a soda can or extra large rat, but they haven't. It's pretty swollen as compared to the rest of the body.
She looks like she may be building, but probably not ovulating.
As I said, I'm far from an expert. Just my 02. cents.
Beautiful snake :) Good luck to you!

Still building.
To the beginner buildings can sometimes look like a ovulation but will last longer than 24 hours.
Keep plugging males in with her and wait.

Rich's BPs,
Just learning still, you mean that Ovulation only lasts about 24 hours?
